Emerald Green Arborvitae is an upright, conical-shaped evergreen conifer featuring attractive, dark emerald green foliage. It is absolutely low-maintenance, requiring no pruning to keep its narrow pyramidal form. An excellent selection for use in tight spaces, to frame corners in home foundation plantings, or as an evergreen screen or hedge in situations where space is limited. Also nice in pots and can be decorated as a Christmas tree.
